French actress Léa Seydoux admits starring in raunchy lesbian movie Blue Is The Warmest Colour has failed to boost her confidence about getting naked on camera.

The EE Baftas Rising Star nominee said she would consider getting her kit off again – but only if the right film role came along.

‘I’m not that comfortable with on-screen nudity,’ she confessed. ‘When I saw Blue Is The Warmest Colour I was very uncomfortable. But if it’s a part that I love then I don’t mind. Being naked is part of life, it’s fine.’

Seydoux, 28, has worked with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars including Russell Crowe in Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood and Quentin Tarantino in Inglourious Basterds. But she says Tom Cruise is the most ‘intense’ actor she has appeared alongside.

‘Tom was the most intimidating,’ she said of their time together filming Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. ‘He has that strong intensity but he’s very kind and very close with people on set.’

Whether it’s a ruthless assassin or a lesbian helping her young girlfriend explore her sexuality, the screen beauty says she thinks long and hard over which roles to take on.

‘All my films are chosen very carefully,’ she told me at Bafta headquarters after nominations for the rising star award were announced on Monday. ‘I need to have something to do in a film. I need a challenge.’

Seydoux’s rivals for the rising star award at the Baftas next month include Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong’o, 30, for her role in 12 Years A Slave. Kill Your Darlings actor Dane DeHaan, 27, and 21-year-old Sunshine On Leith star George Mackay are also among the nominees.
